Rescuers will be working around the clock. In a matter of seconds my house was flooding. And we are stuck in the attic. Trapped and waiting for help. Waters continue to rise. Tropical storm florence is becoming more life threatening. Yelling for help. And tried to go outside. But then the water got up above his chest. And he had come back inside.

Again, were feeling the effects right now. In wilmington. The eye of the storm to the southwest of us. Moving in land. Bringing a great deal of rain and moving so slowly. Lets bring in meteorologist stand lg by at the Severe Weather center in atlanta. You have been tracking this. People will certainly want to know exactly where the storm is going. Millions of people will be affected here in the state. Yes. Its just been around the southeast coast of North Carolina. Now transitioned over into south carolina. Still a lot of that energy can be felt in the wilmington area. They were so devastated when this made land fall. In the vicinity of rights visit beach. Bands of moisture being picked up from the atlantic. Swirling the moisture on shore. You see the strong bands. Thats why we have deep moisture. And the bands are also producing some swirl in the atmosphere. Thats the reason why we have the tornado watch which is in effect for the region. Right around myrtle beach theres a little bit of a lull. And the wind are coming in off land. As a result youre seeing lirgt activity. Once this drifts further toward the west of southwest. About five miles per hour. You will pick up more in the way of wet weather. In the way of Severe Weather. Thats what were expecting in the next couple hours. There was the tornado watch. How about the rainfall totals. This is where the computer models were spot on. Suggesting between 20 and 30 inches. You have to remember at times these rain gauges were so over loaded they were being vibrated by the rainfall. Some of the 23 plus inches we have seen at new port, North Carolina. The coastal areas. That in fact may go up. Theyll see adjustments in these as we go through time. Cape fear over 17 inches of rainfall. Just about 300 millimeters. Less than 300 milters of rainfall. Whats going to happen. As we look into the next several days. Now Tropical Storm florence, it doesnt look that impressive. The problem is and always has been the fact this is just going to rain itself out over the dope south. It will swing toward the west and move into the southern appalachians. Its not over. Until the beginning of the workweek. Thats going to cause certainly problems for many people. As this week pushes forward. Karen, thank you so much. In the week ahead search and rescue teams will be critical. Certainly over the next 24 to 48 hours. One of those teams is the navy.

Theres tree damage and trees down. Well wake up in the morning and have water and trees down everywhere. One thing that officials are doing certainly here. In the wilmington area. Theyre asking people to stay off the roads especially over night. Theres a curfew. They want to make sure people stay off the roads. We have been out there.

Boats or trailers. Chain saws. We try to Work Together with the local authority. We dont want to duplicate and go into an area where authorities are already there. We want to help. Assess this particular storm. Were talking about millions of people who are affected. That will be a multiday event. It will bring plenty of flooding and we have to find out exactly how much water will be filling into the various rivers. How bad is this one and how much work do you suspect you have ahead . This could have been worse. It slowed down pretty good. That happened to a lot of people. They thought it was going to be bad. But it has been bad. The worst is yet to come. Were in the middle of a really bad storm. The rain is coming downside ways. And doing this for three hours. Well wake up in the morning and a lot of flooding and damage.

One effecting asia and the other in the United States. Here in the carolina. Tropical storm florence weakened from a full blown hurricane with a steady rain and strong wind killed at least five people. A lot of damage to report also along the coast. Recovery is going to be long and slow. It will be expensive. Nearly a million customers are without power. Including us here as we cover the storm. First responders identified almost 500 people in need of rescue. From the rising water. Earlier my colleague chris cuomo spoke with the governor of this state. North carolina. About the rescue efforts under way. We have great First Responders who are out in the water right now. Rescuing people. We have had loss of life. And we mourn that. Ill tell you this storm is relentless and exkruchuating and very slow. Moving at three miles per hour. And with every inch of rain that falls on our river, its that much closer to significant inland flooding. We have already experienced the ocean surge that youre about to experience in south carolina. And now were deeply concerned about massive flooding inland and were still evacuating areas all along the rivers in North Carolina. Theres probably not a county or person that wont be affected in some way by the massive and violent storm. We in North Carolina are pulling together and well get through it. And well recover. Youll wind up finding out you have friend that you never knew about. Not just in the state. Or in the neighboring state. But all across the country. People are watching the storm. We come together in moments like this. Social securi its is signature trait of people. As we recover from this empbt. Theres been loss of life. We have been reporting five. Is there an update . They are three confirmed deaths. We are investigating other deaths that have occurred. To see if they are related to the storm. You mention the help that we have gotten. We have received personnel and equipment from 23 states across the country. I have talked to numerous governors who have sent help here. First responders who are putting their lives at risk. Were all americans when Something Like this happens. I am very grateful for our local, state and federal partners and the volunteers. The faith based groups. And particularly people who have come from as far as california. To help us out here in North Carolina. Governor, what are your emergency experts and officials telling you about the biggest concern with the duration. I have stood in worse. Youve lived in worse. Different times in North Carolina. Im in south carolina. I have never seen anything be so consistent for so long. What are they telling you about the concerns on that level . The problem is the combination ofhe ocean surge that were getting. The storm surge from the sea. On top of the relentless rain that were having. Theres really nowhere for the river water to go. It usually discharges into the ocean. The surge backing it up. The rain on top of that is causing massive flooding and the flooding is going to occur for several days. Because the rivers are going to continue to rise. Water is our main problem. And we know that flood waters kill. And were urging North Carolina to stay in place. And unless youre told to evacuate. And if you are, go. Get out. Hit the high ground. The governor of North Carolina. Speaking to my colleague. Chris also coining a phrase i have used recently. Dont get caught up in the category. What do we mean. The storm came in it was category 4. Dropped to 3 and 2. Became a one. Some people might have thought were in the clear. Not necessarily. Its such a strong storm system. It is moving so slowly. What we can say with certainty is over the next several days were talking about a multiday event. With heavy rain and flooding. Strong wind. These are things people have to watch out for and we heard earlier these rescue crews that will be out here to help people, their work is made worse when people dont wait. Give it time. This is a major system. Were just in the middle of it. Recovering again two storms around the globe. Here of course in the states and this storm hitting the philippines. Live in hong kong. Following this story with the this hour. Thank you. Typhoon manghkut roared ashore saturday. Packing tajing wind and pounding rain. Its moving offshore after cutting a path through the northern philippines. Next land fall will be here in southern china. It will likely strengthen. Manghkut lost its typhoon status passing through the philippines. Its still an extremely powerful storm system. Many of the country is north are reporting rising flood waters. Debris and damaged buildings. Were watching this. At the atlanta cnn Severe Weather center. Give us the latest. Its still a monster system. Were not referring to it as a super typhoon anymore. Several days ago it was the strongest tropical system anywhere on the planet. For 2018. And when folks in were staring this down, i have to tell you from my perspective it was so terrifying to look at. We have had a clearly defined eye. The storm was tightly wrapped. Lots of energy. It is now moved across northern and beginning to move out over the water. The winds associated at about 135 miles per hour. Moving towards the west at about 18 miles per hour. So, as it continues to exit, it moves out into the open waters. It will regain some of the intensity. And there will be another land fall. It roared across guam and produced devastation. Now mainland china. Whereabout and what time. It could be about 100 kilometers to the south of hong kong. Still a broad system. Impacts will be felt there. Dont be prized if the airport is affected. If there are potential for flooded roads maybe mud slides. Or landslide. Heres the rainfall totals in excess of 200 millimeters. At one location. Thats eight inches of rainfall. It isnt just that. One of the extraordinary things we have seen is so far no fatalities reported. With the system that was this massive. That is really remarkable. Perhaps going into sunday morning sometime, thats the time frame. It looks like this typhoon is going to be making land fall south of hong kong. And just to the north of haiku. Well keep you updated. Were not fooled by the blue skies. You can see in the shot behind me. We know whats ahead. In the next 24 hours. Lets go live to the philippines. Standing by. With more on typhoon manghkut. What are officials telling you. About the extent of the damage and update on fatalities. They just do not know the extent of the damage yet. That is because of the problem with communication. They were prepared for the storm of this magnitude to hit. It came in in the over night. That means in the daylight they now need to see what it did. Were seeing the early pictures. Theres debris across road. And downed trees. Damage to small buildings of the that was expected. For the most part talking about a largely rural area. These are small buildings, one story. This damage was expected. Its extraordinary that officials havent been able to report any casualties. They say they have received none of the reports at this time. Last check when the press secretary held a press conference earlier. We have heard the same thing from local official. Were waiting for another update. That will happen later today. The word we have been hearing across the region is they are dealing with downed power lines. Thats of course a problem. Trying to assess the damage. Theyre worried about heavy wind whipping through. And worried about the rain. Land
